"Blackwell provides fast and great service! I have had them out to my house now twice and am very happy. The last time we were installing a fan when the husband fell off of the ladder and broke his wrist on a Thursday. I had family coming in that weekend and Blackwell made it out on Friday in time before family arrived. Prices are fair and everyone at the company is professional, honest and nice. Highly recommend."

I have been in the Fence Business since 1983 and we are a family owned and operated company. We do all our work ourselves and do not sub-contract our work out. We bill 1/2 to start the job and balance on completion of job. We take all credit cards but do not have any in house financing.
"They were the first ones to call me back (I called 3 companies for an estimate) and the first ones to schedule the consult. They came when they said they would come and called w/a reminder the day before. Manny and Eli were the team that did the job. TOTAL PROFESSIONALS - start to finish. On time, helped me w/the best placement for the lights, called me in before they started putting holes in the ceiling to make sure it was what I wanted and got right to work. They even cleaned the floors before they left!! This was not a one time thing. I've used Archer before for ceiling fan installation and to fix this weird post light we have out by the street. Call w/confidence. These are the electric go-to people in Gainesville."
"Skyy and Willy did amazing work! I own a home built in 1951 with plaster walls and ceilings. During hurricane Maria we had a pretty bad leak that resulted in a hole approximately 4x5 feet in our ceiling. We ended up buying a new metal roof and then started our search for someone to repair, patch, re-texture and refinish our living room ceiling. The shopping process sucked royally. We interviewed and elected to pass on a series of contractors, each stating they'd do the work but then failing to show up or just lack of confidence they expressed in being able to share a concise plan to restore the ceiling. The existing ceiling is comprised of two layers of drywall followed by plaster with a hand-applied "sanded" texture and flat paint. Many contractors wanted me to do an ugly knockdown re-texture or total drywall replacement and orange peel texturing. So I kept searching for someone to take the job. That's when I turned to Angie's list and I interviewed two companies, ultimately selecting Skyy. Skyy and Willy showed up on time and approached the job with confidence, a concrete plan of action and competitive pricing. They weren't the highest or lowest priced but right in the middle. The job took three trips; one to patch, sand and level the surface, one to texture and first coat paint and a final visit for final paint touch up and ensure final uniformity. On the second visit Skyy and I came up with a wild idea in the morning to have the whole room repainted including baseboards and walls including an accent wall for Mother's Day and my anniversary. It was basically an episode of flip this living room. The accent wall was Skyy's idea and she saved me from making the room way to dark with her advice. She also guided me based on the colors of our furnishings. During this process I was so focused on the ceiling repair I guess I didn't realize that Skyy is a full-on designer too. My wife came home late that Saturday night and was thrilled and completely surprised with the results. I'm really picky/OCD and its hard to make me happy. I'm sure I drove Skyy and Willy crazy but they never let me see it. They were patient with my ideas and questions and always had a plan to address a concern the moment I voiced it. Every line was razor sharp and the texture matched perfectly. Overall I give the project an A+. Skyy is a preferred contractor for us from now on."
Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.
Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.
The more surface area that a ceiling fan blade has, the more effective it will be at producing airflow. Therefore, a longer ceiling fan blade is the better option if you’re looking for more wind. However, a longer blade will consume more energy than a shorter blade.
There’s no reason why you can’t install a ceiling fan anywhere in your home, such as in living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dining areas. Most bathrooms already have ventilation and don’t need a ceiling fan. For safety purposes, avoid installing a ceiling fan where the blades will be less than eight feet from the floor, near bunk beds, or anywhere else they may hit nearby objects.
If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire.
